  1. I made these over the weekend and they are very yummy, but super sweet. I even omitted the chocolate frosting and swirled in some melted chocolate chips instead and it was still so sweet. I could only eat one at a time, but that's not such a bad thing!
     
  2. I made these for a pot luck and everyone said they tasted good. Some people absolutely loved them, and others said they were good but too sweet. I thought they were good but too sweet for my taste. I will definately make them again for potlucks. People who enjoy desserts that are very sweet really love these brownies. Thanks for posting this recipe.
     
  3. this is a real crowd pleaser! it only lasted a couple of hours at my house. i cooked it as dessert for Sunday dinner. i used pecans, use them liberally if you like them. that goes for whatever kinda nut you like.
     
  4. So rich and yummy! The whole family loved these. A great last minute dessert or pot luck dish, too, as it goes together in a flash. I took JLBurnell's suggestion and used recipe #123920 which was extremely easy, but still rich and chocolately. A great combination. This one's a keeper! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
     
  5. My family LOVED this recipe. In fact, I never even got to try it! My dad called me the next day and asked me if I could come over and make it again. Instead of the canned frosting, I actually made my own and used <a href="/123920">Grandma's Chocolate Fudge Frosting</a>-"Grandma's Chocolate Fudge Frosting." It was awesome! Thanks Kathy.
